Since it was obvious you do not understand any of the terminology.May I suggest that you be prepared in Singapore, with your mother to provide you bail money and I meet you to see me beg the judge for compensation for your suggestions?
Did I so far see CB did any advises about saving and spending in this thread? So I wonder who is going to be doing the begging later.

Another idea: To keep yourself healthy without spending a whole truckload of cash on gym memberships or swimming pools, try getting your own bicycle, and try reaching destinations that are physically and mentally trying. (For 6 hours we rode from CCK to West Coast then to VivoCity)
A good bike can be had for around $300 (with decent gear systems and brakes).
$300 is just worth 1 year of gym and swimming pool entries (once per week) whereas if you get a bike, it's worth a lifetime of freestyle exercising.Step 1: Plan your route
Be mighty ambitious. Try aiming for somewhere far. For starters, a 40KM distance back and forth should suffice.Step 2: Get some friends
Friends are important, for you will most likely land yourself in surprising situations. So their help will always be crucial. Imagine losing your direction in the remote Lim Chu Kang farm area!Step 3: Plan budget
For my case, we always try to aim for $0 (In the end we still end up spending on a macdonald's meal everytime)
For those who dont want to spend any cash, bring your own food e.g. biscuits.Step 4: Plan starting time and end time
My advice: Start early, return late. At around 7am, the cool air gets you motivated and relaxed.Step 5: Cycle like hell
Don't stop for anything, the only thing you should think about is reaching the end point in the least time possible.End result: Most often you will realize a substantial increase in muscle mass in your thighs. For distances of >60KM, you will shed at least 1.5KG.
Notice: I cannot stress this enough, but ALWAYS abide by road safety rules. No point in losing your life while in the process of living cheap.
You must be an avid cyclist. I'm going to try that next time! Thanks!

You want tips, VK?
This tips specially for you,
eat leftovers at hawker centres/food courts. When they didnt finish their food, make sure you are fast enough to the food before the cleaners come.
Beg people for money for food. Master the art, because you will have to beg for the rest of your life.
viiiiiiiiiikitty, heed my advice and you will do ok in life.
-
Eating leftovers at hawker centre is not new.
Seen grown men and women does that. Which is why I never throw used tissue papers into my bowls when I cannot finish my meals.
No one is ever that lucky and I dont believe in putting people down when they are down.
But those who are malicious, that is another story.
In view of how Cb's been behaving on this forum. I believe its time that I flex my muscle for my words and take a look at who actually is CB's mother and why she developed such a child.
In any case, this might mean proper correction services that will no longer be a mothers control.

-double post-
But yah, I went thru starvation situation, not once but three times. My stomach still clenches whenever I remember those situation.
I thankfully has lot of grown men friends that treat me to meals so I was spared those difficult moments at food centres.
And CB, thank you for your advise, I will remember to thank your mother too when I meet her. She developed a child that is very 'helpful'.

Not bad! Looks like you have been working out!

Dont get your point.
Or you are suggesting that you will be coming to court in that outfit or towing that girl along to show off your money saving ideas?
-
Ok, here is what I do not understand about Singapore males.
They believe that they putting down others, by means of pictures and words, hiding behind the computer screen usng free forum services means they won something?
What exactly did they win?
Maybe I should answer my own questions.
They irrate a female so much that he is haul up to a court room, have reporters swarm all over him and paste his pictures in the evening newspaper for abusing and insulting others and providing nasty suggestions which he should be following for the rest of his careers in Singapore?
That has already happened so many time, yet so many choose to be one of the famous.
-
I dont have to wear any outfit or pose any photographs.
But I believe the world of Singapore will not be surprised at your picture shown for the world to see.
And since you already initiated such movements that are necessary. I see you end Jan 09 CB.
I hope you show a better image then what you posted about others.

Another idea to live cheap in Singapore.
Buy your insurance young, especially the life and medical ones.
Personal Libabilities & accidents stuffs are really good when you encounter minor accident.
Get a one year travel insurance too, if you travel often like I do. Though i only spent 3 months here, 1 month there or just 1 day in Malaysia motorcycle touring per week.
That travel insurance comes in handy.
Though I had PA & Accident insurance on the time of my fall from my motorcycle in mersing Malaysia, I didnt have travel insurance. My friends took me as a pillion and bring me back to Singapore for medical treatment.
So. I wasnt able to claim any other fees, though my PA insurance paid for some of my hospital fee.
-
For girls, get your medical insurance young.
And do your regular pap smears and breast examination. Do take note that pre cancer cells detected is not claimable on insurances. Cos its Pre Cancer. And Insurers has the right to void the part anything related to cancer death or medical once you report that pre cancer thingy in.
And dont just assume that you are not at risk if you have a bf or a hubby. If they have been sexually active before you or during your time. You can get infected by their 'souvenirs'.
So whatever happens, have the guy develop good habits and you both want to have children, then tests before going thru the deeds.

Hi vicious kitty,
i kinda agree on what you have said.. however i still dont think we should deliberately give way to beggars. i believe if one has the strength to beg, they would have the strength to do simple work like picking cardboard boxes and metal cans... i dont donate to uncles who come up to me in coffee shops demanding 1 dolar.. however, i would gladly buy tissue papers from those selling them around singapore even if i do not hasve the need for it...
